So, you are reading things I didn't write. I'm not defending him about steam games etc... The only good will here about any of it is the work toward better Linux life.
I agree billionaires shouldn't exist.
I don't like steam.
I don't really do much gaming... And it's worth stuff from GOG.
Chill out. I'm not the fanboi you are looking for.
I'm only saying perhaps he sees $$$ in a venture that is rife with much worse people doing far worse to vulnerable people.
On the off chance better access comes about from rich assholes eating each other, I'm game to at least watch.
I'm not. your post is literally saying we should be nicer to him because he's not Elon. you're saying we should be easy on him because he might be doing some good. I'm saying we shouldn't.
No. "Don't immediately assume he's doing the same exact evil" is not the same as "be nicer".
At the least, it's "assume other bad motives perhaps".
My thought is this is just another way to milk money from others. That simple. Not "let's bribe govts".
If it's assumed he's doing the exact same as Musk, then we either prepare to undo the damage incorrectly, or waste time looking at the wrong stooge.
you're quoting yourself but you never said that. you said maybe Gabe could be entering his villain phase, as if he's not there yet. thus implying you meant he's not a villain, so we shouldn't assume the worse. I get what you say now, but you did not say what you meant in your original comment.
